Module talk:ResolveEntityId

Redirects

@Ahecht: a really useful module. Would it possible to follow redirects and give the ID of their target? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:07, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ: It already follows Wikidata redirects. For example {{#invoke:ResolveEntityId|entityid|Q404}} returns Q404. Are you talking about following Wikipedia redirects as well? --Ahecht (TALK

Yes that's what I meant, sorry if I was unclear. It would be great if

{{#invoke:ResolveEntityId|entityid|Isla de Útila}} ⇒ Q1572113

Currently:

{{#invoke:ResolveEntityId|entityid|Isla de Útila}} ⇒ Q1572113

@Ahecht: this would still be extremely useful, if only as an opt-in. Thanks :) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:54, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MSGJ I'll put it on my to-do list. --Ahecht (TALK

@MSGJ Looks like I implemented it in the sandbox back in 2021 but never copied it to the main template. It's now

Done. --Ahecht (TALK

Ahecht and MSGJ: Something, possibly this change, has resulted in script errors in as many as a few hundred articles. See Abatus koehleri and Category:Pages with script errors. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:30, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted for now. Thanks for letting us know — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:28, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If the reverted edit is restored, perhaps with changes, please consider my response at WT:Lua#Lua error with Taxonbar?. I don't know if the problem mentioned here had the same root cause as the problem I investigated. Johnuniq (talk) 08:38, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
